kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Do they actually pay him for this sort of nonsensical spewage? This is from a guy whose most memorable moment as a player or as a coach was to jump in the stands and beat a guy with his own shoe. Without a doubt Milbury is a caveman and a ******, but I don't think he is dumb. He knows being a caveman and a ****** gets people going and are his most marketable traits. If he stops being a caveman, JR is waiting in the wings to pick up the ****** mantle. If he stops being both, there are a million has-beens ready for his job.

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah - for a guy that blows alot of steam on HNIC/NESN/NBC - the guy really blew as a GM. Can't wait until NBC does games again so I can put the mute on for that channel's intermissions, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jollymania 162 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Milbury is a joke guys. He's widely considered the most hilariously terrible GM of recent history and as a player he beat a man with his shoe. How many times have we laughed at the Yashin for Chara+someguy+1st(Spezza)? Check out the list of retarded moves Milbury made in Long Island during his career as a franchies-raper: Recovering From Mike Mulbury: Is Five Years Long Enough? Milbury was a terrible gm, but he is a great analyst, he isn't politically correct, yet he isn't senile like cherry, he says things like they are, and occasionally goes over the line if it is a team he hates (philly, nyr, detroit) Eric Francis, now that guy is a piece of s*** who has the IQ of a monkey and doesn't belong on tv Edited January 14, 2011 by jollymania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 How can a guy like Milbury still be employed? Can he actually do anything noteworthy? All I see is that he spits BS all around on a regular basis. 1 teebo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

henrik40 76 Report post Posted January 14, 2011 Can't wait until NBC does games again so I can put the mute on for that channel's intermissions, too. It still baffles me that the NHL has a deal with NBC and is entirely okay with them not showing games until late January (not counting the WC). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 How's that Luongo trade looking, Mike? I wonder how much better the Islanders would be with Luongo, Chara, Spezza and Bertuzzi... Man, that Milbury guy is one of the great hockey minds of his generation. Getting beaten in the skull for years makes you smarter, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Stolberg Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Can't wait until NBC does games again so I can watch Milbury get flustered when one of the other people in studio brings up the Islanders in an argument. 1 mjlegend reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His obvious hatred for certain teams and distain for anyone who disagrees with him kind of hurt his credibility as an analyst. Sometimes he looks like he's going to jump the guy on the other side of the table just for disagreeing with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegerkin 189 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Agreed - although I still get a kick outta Grapes, and just like Milbury he has some valid points/insight. With Grapes, you just wanna kinda nod your head and think "aww, you poor old, senile bastard" and then pat him gently on the shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 did anybody else find it odd they used that language on a national news website? and yes, milbury is a choad. He also said "Christ" as an exclamatory on NESN. Where the hell's the leash? Or at least a muzzle? Milbury was a terrible gm, but he is a great analyst, he isn't politically correct, yet he isn't senile like cherry, he says things like they are, and occasionally goes over the line if it is a team he hates (philly, nyr, detroit) Eric Francis, now that guy is a piece of s*** who has the IQ of a monkey and doesn't belong on tv ...When he calls the Wings a bunch of "goody two-shoes"?

Selliria 76 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 He's such an idiot. I don't say that lightly either, because I'm one of those that feels unless you truly know someone, you shouldn't judge their circumstances. But after listening to him makes these kinds of comments over and over and over... I just can't do it anymore. I don't know what game he watches, but it isn't NHL hockey. This line of thinking is why he wasn't cut out to be a GM. He lacks the basic understanding of the game... and the fact that anybody would listen to anything this guy says is the real laughable part here. 1 edicius reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
